This C++ library provides a json-rpc (remote procedure call) framework for Windows, Linux and MacOS (or any other UNIX derivate). It is fully JSON-RPC 2.0 compatible (JSON-RPC 2.0) and provides additional features, such as generic authentication mechanisms.

Notice: This framework is currently in a beta phase. Bug Reports are very welcome!

• Full JSON-RPC 2.0 Support (batch requests, parameter type and name checking, ...).
• Embedded HTTP server to provide simple interfaces for your json-rpc server application.
• Embedded HTTP client to connect easily via HTTP protocol.
• jsonrpcstub: Generates automatically C++ classes for your json-rpc client.
• Super liberal MIT-License.

Other good reasons to use libjson-rpc-cpp

• Easy to use.
• Method parameter names and checks can be easily configured through a simple json configuration file.
• Very verbose error reporting.
• Easy to use cmake cross platform build system.
• Clean and simple architecture.
• Authentication Interface: to restrict certain methods to certain user/groups only.
• Tested under Windows7, MacOS X (10.7) and Linux (Ubuntu 12.10).

You will need Git and CMake. You can click on the links to download the latest versions. CMake must be Version 2.6 or later.

Open a terminal and copy the following commands:

git clone git://github.com/cinemast/libjson-rpc-cpp.git
cd libjson-rpc-cpp/build
cmake .. && make
#Not required, but makes it easier to use
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

That's all you need.

To uninstall the lib, type (inside the build directory):

sudo make uninstall

• A simple Server Example
• A simple Client Example

• Provide .deb package
• Automated testing after build phase (maybe ctest)
• Get available at ubuntu mirrors.
• Documentation for extending libjson-rpc-cpp (implementing more connectors, authentication manager)
• Tutorial for AJAX-Example (it already works)

• jsoncpp (licensed under MIT) jsoncpp is a very easy to use and powerful json library. It is used for all the JSON parsing and generation inside this library.
• mongoose (licensed under MIT) mongoose is a http server that can be easily embedded into other applications. It is used here for the HttpConnector to provide HTTP json-rpc Requests.
• curl lib curl is used for the HttpClient connections.

Thanks go to Baptiste Lepilleur and Sergey Lyubka for providing jsoncpp and mongoose.
